What AI search work covers
SEO
Content and backlinks that earn rankings in Google’s classic results.
AEO
Answer engine optimization: structuring content so Google AI Overviews and answer boxes quote it.
GEO
Generative engine optimization: getting a brand named and cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity and other AI assistants.
Questions about AI search
SEO targets rankings in Google’s results. AEO targets the answers Google shows directly, such as AI Overviews. GEO targets citations inside AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Islands runs all three from one content and backlink program.
Buyers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews which product to choose. Those tools name a short list of brands and cite their sources. If your brand isn’t one of them, you’re skipped before a buyer ever reaches your site.
Our AI Agents publish content that answers the questions your buyers ask, and build backlinks that grow your site’s authority. That combination is how Blanka became the brand AI cites for its industry’s biggest query.
Blanka reached #1 and is cited by AI for its industry’s biggest query, with backlinks up 4× in 90 days. GrowTal ranked 496 keywords, 64% of them in the top 10. Islands’ own inbound traffic grew 10× with AI Content Agents.
Across Growth you can measure, content went live within a week, traffic was climbing by day 30, domain authority was growing inside the first month and Blanka’s backlinks were up 4× in 90 days.
We track keywords ranked and how many sit in the top 10, backlinks and domain authority, organic traffic and subscribers, and whether AI tools cite the brand for the queries that matter.
Yes. We ran the engine on ourselves before selling it. Our AI Content Agents grew Islands’ inbound traffic 10×, and our newsletter went from near-zero to 2,400 subscribers with content alone.
